Governing Argentina: The Way Ahead

January 17, 2024

When this interview was recorded, Argentina had just sworn in a new president of the Nation, raising many questions about the political future of the South American country. The freshly installed Head of State had led a peculiar campaign, had promised to slash government spending, in a country where half the population receives support from the State. His radical rhetoric against the political elite had galvanized the youth, but also contributed to stoke fear on the future of democracy in Argentina. In this interview, Camila Crescimbeni, former MP and member of the ADEL 2023 cohort, answered questions on her own political engagement and on her perception of what the close future of Argentina might look like.

    MERCOSUR is almost thirty years old. The project has achieved relevant accomplishments, but it has also accumulated many unfulfilled objectives and even some setbacks. It began with a very ambitious goal: the constitution of a common market. This ambition was quickly reduced to a customs union project, still a far-reaching objective. Africa, by its side, has undergone, since many decades, relevant regional and sub-regional integration experiences, some of which share the ambitions o ...

We then estimate the effect of these changes on workers' productivity. Finally, using a Spatial Computable General Equilibrium (S ...
